There was only pity and nothing else. The impatience in Eugene’s eyes spread, and he leaned back as

he said in an indifferent tone, “Get out.”

Melanie left without hesitation. When she passed by Viola’s workstation, she felt the guarded gaze cast

upon her.

Back downstairs, Yana looked at Melanie with admiration and said, “Melanie, you were so domineering

just now.”

Melanie paid no attention to that comment. “Did you deliver the documents I gave you this morning?”

Just as she said this, a colleague outside the door called out to Melanie. “Melanie, someone is looking

for you.”

Melanie did not expect Joshua to come back and look for her again after leaving. Joshua’s family

company was also on the invitation list for the meeting, and Melanie had just seen him.

However, they were not very familiar with each other. Joshua was nervous as he scratched his ear and

greeted Melanie, “I heard you’ve been looking into art exhibitions lately? My uncle works in that field. If

you’re interested, I can introduce you to him.”

The reality was that Melanie had no deep impression of Joshua. She only remembered him as

someone who often accompanied Simon.

She nodded politely and replied, “Thank you, but not for now.”

Joshua seemed disappointed. “Are you very busy?”



He genuinely admired Melanie, and the not–so–friendly things he said to her at the hotel that day had

been seared into his brain. He had been wanting to make amends, but since Melanie was unwilling to

accept his help, Joshua could only leave with regret.

Melanie saw him off, and when she returned to the office, she noticed that Eugene had come

down.

Eugene was tall and exuded an air of superiority in his every move. He looked particularly arrogant

when he was not smiling.

Melanie paused for a moment before continuing forward. Eugene looked at her, mockery flickering in

his eyes. “Melanie, you’ve quite the nerve, making appointments with men during working hours.”

His words were impolite and quite harsh, causing Melanie’s fingers to involuntarily curl up. ” You know

Joshua.”

“The Hewitt family is small and insignificant. I can’t believe you’d be interested in someone like him

now.” Eugene’s tone was lightly mocking.

Melanie tightened her grip on the cup as she looked at Eugene. She forced herself to remain calm and

finally asked, “Do you need something from me?”

Eugene threw a document at her. “You’ll be handling the planning for Oceanus Industries.” Oceanus

Industries was a rising star in the financial district of Aurelumn. Melanie glanced at

the document and was about to ask something when he added, “And take Viola with you.” Melanie was

momentarily stunned, but then she realized what was happening. Eugene was holding a grudge



against her comment about Viola lacking, practical experience and not being considered an

outstanding intern. That was why he wanted to assign her to a nominal role.

Even if Melanie and Viola worked on the planning together or even if Viola just assisted on the

sidelines, her name would have to appear on the project.

Her hand that held the document trembled slightly. Biting her lip, Melanie looked up at Eugene. “What if

I refuse?”

Eugene’s icy gaze swept over her features as he sneered. Looking down at Melanie, he challenged

her. “Do you have a choice?”

He was right. Melanie had no choice. As long as she was still an employee of LeapCo, she had to

follow Eugene’s arrangements.
